The Slipperiest Car on the Road

The Tesla Motors TeamMay 28, 2014

Fast, electric, safe — and a total "drag queen." Car and Driver magazine has found that the Model S is one of the "slipperiest" cars on the road (and yes, that's a good thing). In its latest issue, Car and Driver has published a comparison of five cars with low drag areas. Using a wind tunnel to determine each car's drag and lift properties, the magazine declared Model S the winner, beating out the Toyota Prius, the Nissan LEAF, the Chevy Volt, and the Mercedes-Benz CLA250. Pointing out that the Model S "proves that you can look slick and be slick at the same time," the magazine enumerated the car's advantages, including:

The air suspension drops ride height at highway speeds

A contoured chin below the grille helps to keep airflow attached as it sweeps under the flat bottom

This is a fantastic car and looks very eye-catching at road. Model “S” is a slipperiest car, besides this its speed, controlling and smoothness are those qualities that make it apart from others. It is really a “drag queen” because all its parts and accessories as available at http://www.iautobodyparts.com and other places make this car apart from others.
